Mende Kikakui Number 10

[Andrew Cunningham]

I am not suggesting it needs to be encoded. And I did suggest that using
the digit one and the symbol for tens was an option.

It can be done via a ligature. It would have to be a required ligature.
Since other ligature types may or may not be enabled in various contexts.
And we dont want default substitution and mark positioning to generate a
non-ligature equivalent.

An it will be interesting to see which rendering engines handle kikakui.
